I'd be curious to know your approach to this summer and (re)building the team for next season.
If the rumors are true, that Miles and Theo will be gone before the draft, then that bodes well for yours truly.
I'd still stay with our 1st Rounder this summer - focusing on a 2-3 with a dead-eye shot. I'm becoming more and more sold on the idea that Morrison would be a nice fit for our team.
If Miles and Theo brings a banging, tough-nosed, rebounding-type of PF/C, then I'm all for that, as well.
Keep the 3 PGs - at least for this upcoming season.
The big lingering question would be, who will start at 3? If Morrison were to be drafted, I still don't think he could immediately step into that role. I'm still not so sure that, either, Outlaw or Viktor are "starter quality" guys. (I hate to say it, but I'd give serious thought to trading one of the two.) It's a dilemma, though. I suppose if the Blazers traded for a starting 3, then it would be kinda senseless to draft Morrison. I dunno.
Webster needs to start @ 2 next season. That being said, I think Dixon needs to be traded. I'm not even opposed to backing up Martell with Lenard, then drafting a 2 with the Detroit pick. Or, package the Detroit pick and our 2nd Rounder to, perhaps, move up a few more slots in the 1st Round.
Of course, all of this is dependent on being able to re-sign Joel. If that doesn't materialize, then we need to draft big, big, big. That is, unless we can get a big in exchange for Miles and Theo.
Zach will be fine. He just needs a strong mentor. If he were playing with, well, a Duncan type? Sky would be the limit. He needs a mature, strong-minded vet to get in his face and drive him a bit more. He certainly doesn't have that here currently.
